Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to support Ethiopian applicants for family reunion.

We recognise that some people displaced may wish to join family in the UK, and where those family members do not have a current UK visa, they can apply for one via one of our standard visa routes, which remain available, and applications can be submitted at the nearest Visa Application Centre. Guidance on how to apply for a family visa can be found at: Family visas: apply, extend or switch: Overview - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

In addition, close family members of individuals who are in the UK with permission to stay as a refugee may be eligible to apply under the family reunion arrangements. Details can be found at: Application for UK visa (family joining refugee): appendix 4 VAF4A - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
